Chapter 171 It’s Time to Test Your Acting Skills

After Aaron left, Harry glanced at Draco who was still eating, and then winked at Hermione, "It's time to act."

Hermione nodded and went to the laundry room without hesitation.

"So what should we do next?" Ron asked in a low voice, "Crabbe and Goyle are just gluttons, it's easy to fool them, but Malfoy is not a fool."

"So we have to have a plan."

"What plan? That's Malfoy!

He hates the two of us the most. If we send the cake over, he will probably throw it in our faces." Ron said speechlessly, "How about we try to duel with him again? How about eating?"

"No, he won't accept this challenge.

And we have to think of a way to make them stay in the hall as long as possible. The fewer people there are, the more convenient it is for us to act."

Ron was about to say something when he found that Malfoy stood up and seemed to be planning to leave.

"Oh! I think we have to hurry."

Harry also noticed Malfoy's movements, "Can't let him leave, keep him stable at all costs."

"But there is no plan yet!"

"Just act on it!" Harry put three chocolate cakes on a tray and went to the Slytherin table.

Ron sighed and followed him.

"Malfoy, wait a moment, we have something to talk to you about."

"Potter, and Weasley." Draco frowned in surprise and sneered, "How strange! Granger is not with you?"

"This is a private matter, and has nothing to do with Hermione." Ron said.

"Oh, but I don't think I have anything to talk about with you." Draco smiled meaningfully, "Crabbe, Goyle, let's go."

"It's Quidditch." Harry said hurriedly, this is the most suitable topic he can think of.

Draco stopped immediately, "Now that you mention it, I'm a little interested."

"Actually, I came here specifically to apologize." Harry forced a smile. Although he was very angry, he still tried his best to make his expression look kinder.

"You actually apologized?" Draco looked at Harry in surprise, a little unconvinced, but inexplicably felt very happy in his heart.

"Are you surprised?" Harry sat down and said seriously, "I was more impulsive in the Quidditch game, otherwise you wouldn't have been injured in the arm."

Draco thought about the situation at that time and couldn't help teasing, "I remember that you seemed to be more seriously injured. Lockhart broke all your bones!

And in the end, we won. Slytherin defeated Gryffindor."

"These are two different things. At that time, I wanted to drag you into the water and share the pressure together."

"No need to explain, Potter, anyone can see it.

But your apology is very interesting, I accept it reluctantly."

Harry suppressed the frustration in his heart, bit his back teeth and said: Thank you.

"Now please make way, we should go back to the common room."

Harry immediately winked at Ron, it's your turn.

Although Ron was reluctant, he didn't want any accidents to happen in his round.

And Harry had already set an example for him. As long as he was thick-skinned and big-hearted, it was not impossible to delay time.

"Wait a minute."

"What's wrong?" Draco asked impatiently, "Don't tell me you're here to apologize too?"

"In fact, I am." Ron pursed his lips, "But not to you, but to Goyle."

Puff!

Goyle sprayed out the half-eaten cake and pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me? You apologize to me?"

Ron nodded, "Yes."

"But why?"

"Dueling Club." Ron said a little embarrassedly, "I don't know what happened at the time. I didn't follow the wizard's duel rules and beat you with my bare hands."

"You were a sneak attack, and it seems that I have the upper hand." Goyle said unconvinced, "If someone hadn't pulled me away in time, I would have beaten you so badly that even your mother wouldn't recognize you."

Hearing this, Ron's breathing suddenly became rapid, and his fists clenched involuntarily, wishing to punch Goyle in the fat face.

At this time, Harry coughed and gave him a warning look, conveying two meanings: the overall situation is more important, and it is important to find out the secret chamber; they have more people, and we will be at a disadvantage if we fight.

"Maybe!" Ron held back his breath, "But anyway, I was wrong at the time, so I came to you tonight to apologize, I hope you can forgive me."

Goyle was stunned for a moment, turned his head and looked at Draco.

If it was someone else, he would accept it, but this is Weasley, the family that his boss Malfoy despised the most.

Draco hesitated for a moment and nodded gently, "Just think of it as an unexpected and interesting Christmas gift!"

"Since Malfoy has spoken, I will reluctantly forgive you."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and when they felt the time was right, they pushed the tray with three chocolate cakes to Draco.

"As an apology, we've prepared one for Crabbe as well."

The three of them didn't think much about it, and each of them took one and stuffed it into their mouths.

"Don't mention it, it tastes really good."

Draco nodded while chewing, with a smug smile on his face.

Potter and Weasley actually gave in on the same day, and their vanity was satisfied as never before.

But soon he couldn't laugh anymore, because he felt sleepy as never before, and he lay directly on the table, as did Crabbe and Goyle.

"Merry Christmas," Ron said lightly.

"Don't waste time, act now!"

Harry helped Crabbe up, Ron pulled Goyle up, and sent them to the broom closet, followed by Malfoy.

They were not so polite to the three of them, and they just stuffed them into the cabinet roughly, but before that they took off their shoes.

Harry and Ron rushed to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom with three pairs of shoes.

"Hermione, we're back."

"Did you get it?" Hermione came out of a single room with two large uniforms in her hands.

"Three pairs of shoes, all here." Ron said breathlessly, and then looked at the wizard robes Hermione was wearing with some surprise, "Don't tell me this is Malfoy's?"

"I don't want to pretend to be a fat man."

"No, you misunderstood me. I think Harry should ask."

"It's easy to be exposed if he asks. What we need is indirect questioning, not direct interrogation."

"Makes sense." Harry nodded, "It doesn't matter who you pretend to be, the important thing is to ask the truth."

"Okay, I have no objection."

Harry and Ron changed into Goyle and Crabbe's clothes and shoes respectively, and Hermione also changed into Malfoy's shoes.

Everything was ready, and the three of them turned their eyes to the three glasses at the same time.

"I guess they must be very unpalatable." Ron said with a look of disgust.

"You have to drink it anyway." Harry handed the Polyjuice Potion to the two of them, and kept the portion that could turn him into Goyle.

None of the three wanted to taste the taste of the Polyjuice Potion, so they pinched their noses and drank it in one breath after clinking their glasses.

"I'm about to vomit." Ron dropped the cup in his hand to the ground, and quickly ran to a single room and locked himself in it.

Hermione had the same feeling, threw away the cup with an ugly face, and ran to another single room.

Harry's endurance was slightly stronger, but he was also a little nauseous and could not stand steadily.

The effect of the potion soon manifested, and he made gurgling sounds all over his body, and dense lumps rose and fell in his body, as if he was cooking a pot of thick soup.

Harry panted uncomfortably, and he found that his hands were getting thicker quickly and his nails were getting wider.

Shoulders, skulls, even hair and eyebrows were changing. Soon Harry looked at the mirror in disbelief. His face had completely changed into Goyle's, but his vision was a little blurry.

Harry then realized that Goyle didn't wear glasses, and then he put his glasses on the sink, and the world became clear.

"Are you all right?" Harry asked, but it was Goyle's voice that came out.

"It's okay." Ron walked out of the single room, walked to the mirror and touched his face, "It's amazing, it's exactly like Crabbe."

"Even the voice is the same." Hermione slowly walked up to the two of them with Draco's face, "I really didn't expect that I would succeed in preparing the Polyjuice Potion for the first time.

It's just that this look still feels weird, and I'm not used to it."

"Let's hurry up!" Harry said, "There's only one hour, we have to pretend to be more like it."

"Draco Malfoy has to walk in front, and he has to have a rebellious look on his face." Ron said, "Crabbe and Goyle have to follow him like bodyguards.

You two, it's time to test your acting skills."

"No need for you to remind me." Hermione shrugged and walked out of the bathroom first.

The three of them walked down the stone steps quickly, going deeper and deeper in the dark corridor.

Harry looked at his watch from time to time. After almost ten minutes, he asked worriedly, "We are not going the wrong way, are we?"

"No, the Slytherin common room is hard to find, but I have made a special effort to find out.

We are almost there." Hermione said and stopped in front of a wet stone wall.

"Uh..." Ron pursed his lips, "If this is a door, how do we open it?

Aloho?"

"The unlocking spell is useless, we need a password." Harry said helplessly, "It seems that we have to wait for a real Slytherin to come and take us in.

I hope our luck is better, otherwise it will be bad when the effect of the drug wears off."
